Excellent design, less than perfect implementation. The Lofree Touch PBT mouse is a wireless mouse with a lot of visual flair, surprising ergonomics, and solid build quality. The Touch PBT mostly appeals to lovers of retro looks and mechanical keyboard fans. Lacklustre internals, a steep asking price, and some wireless connectivity issues make it difficult to recommend as anything other than a basic productivity or travel mouse.

Loaded with features. For $600, the GTI13 Ultra is incredible bang for the buck as it comes standard with 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Intel 13th gen CPU, integrated microphone, speakers, and more that most mini PCs lack in this price range.

With its substantial 26 Ah battery, riders can enjoy up to 100 km on a single charge, making it the perfect choice for those seeking long-distance travel without hesitation. But the Y8-S isn’t just about endurance. Its 500W motor ensures a zippy, responsive ride, while the ABE certification guarantees legal operation and proper equipment. Priced around €700 (~$759), it’s not the cheapest on the market, but for endurance unleashed and dependable performance, it offers solid value.

Ventus and vexation. The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC offers the full RTX 5070 Ti experience with excellent performance that beats the GeForce RTX 4080 FE and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX in synthetic benchmarks and gaming. The RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC prioritizes functionality over form with some tradeoffs, but good luck snagging one at the Nvidia-mandated $749 MSRP.

Subtle gaming looks on a budget. The Epomaker Tide65 is more than just a shrunken-down version of the Tide75 we reviewed previously. The compact layout, fast wireless connectivity and lightweight short-travel gaming switches check a lot of boxes, especially considering the price. However, its gaming focus results in a compromised typing feel if you get the wrong configuration.

Windows, SteamOS or both? The Lenovo Legion Go S aims to be the jack-of-all-trades among gaming handhelds. Lenovo currently offers it with Windows and from May, it will also be available with Valve's gaming operating system. However, as a result of its somewhat slow APU and Windows, the handheld didn't do entirely well during our test.
